MRS. SUSAN TRUPPE (LONDON NORTH CENTRE, CPC: )
MR. SPEAKER, ONE WEEK AGO TODAY LONDONERS OF ALL AGES CELEBRATED A NIGHT TO REMEMBER.
THE LONDON KNIGHTS DEFEATED THE NIAGARA ICE DOGS TO WIN THE ONTARIO HOCKEY LEAGUE CHAMPIONSHIP!
THE KNIGHTS' OHL CHAMPIONSHIP RUN BEGAN WITH A SWEEP OF THE WINDSOR SPITFIRES, A SIX-GAME SERIES WIN AGAINST SAGINAW, A SWEEP OF THE KITCHENER RANGERS, AND FINALLY IN FRONT OF A CAPACITY CROWD AT THE JOHN LABATT CENTRE LOCATED IN MY RIDING OF LONDON NORTH CENTRE, THE KNIGHTS DEFEATED THE NIAGARA ICE DOGS IN FIVE GAMES TO WIN THE OHL CHAMPIONSHIP.
I'D LIKE TO CONGRATULATE MARK AND DALE HUNTER, AND THE ENTIRE LONDON KNIGHTS ORGANIZATION - ESPECIALLY FORWARD AUSTIN WATSON WHO WON THE WAYNE GRETZKY 99 TROPHY AS THE OHL PLAYOFF MVP.
ON BEHALF OF ALL MEMBERS OF THIS HOUSE I'D LIKE TO WISH THE KNIGHTS WELL AS THEY MOVE ON TO THE MEMORIAL CUP IN SHAWINIGAN. THEY WON THE CUP IN 2005 AND I KNOW THEY CAN DO IT AGAIN THIS YEAR.
I BELIEVE I SPEAK FOR ALL LONDONERS WHEN I SAY: GO KNIGHTS GO!
